KC and the Sunshine band to make stops in BR, NOLA

KC and
the Sunshine band, a '70s disco/funk band responsible for hits "That's the Way
(I Like It)" and "Get Down Tonight," will make an appearance at the Baton Rouge River Center
on Feb. 16 to relive the classics for Louisiana fans.

The
band was a major sensation in the '70s, going triple platinum with their 1975
self-titled second album.

The album featured four No. 1 songs, according
to the band's website, and KC and the Sunshine Band became the first act since
The Beatles to earn four number one pop singles in a 12-month period.

In
1978, the band was awarded a Grammy for Album of the Year for its contributions
to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.

The band has released 13 albums over a career that's spanned more than three decades.

After failing to record music for nearly 10 years, KC and the Sunshine band returned to the entertainment industry with 1993's "Oh Yeah!"

The band wouldn't record another album until 2001 when they'd release "I'll Be There For You" and 2007's "Yummy"

The
event, part of a series of concerts called The Boogie Tour, will also include performances by J.T. Taylor of Kool and the Gang and Midnight Sat.

The Boogie Tour will make an additional stop in New Orleans on Feb. 15, while Kacy and the Sunshine Band will play solo shows in Knoxville on April 20 and Biloxi on July 5.

Tickets
for the event at the River Center start at $55 on Ticketmaster. The concert is scheduled to begin
at 8 p.m.

"KC and
the Sunshine Band have been entertaining audiences around the world for over 37
years, and have sold in excess of 100 million records and "That's The Way
They Like It" uh-huh uh-huh!" according to the band's website.
